GEORGE S. PETRI, OF NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.

CARD-HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonon S. PE'LRI, a citizen of the United States,residing at Nashville, in the county of Davidson and State of Tennessee,have invented new and useful Improvements in Card-Holders, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful devices for holding displaycards and the object of the invention is the provision of an article ofthis class which is of an ex tremely simple construction, which may bereadily supported either upon the article displayed or the containertherefor and which will hold the card in any desired position upon thearticle or container.

With the above object in view, the invention resides in the novelconstruction of card display holders hereinafter more fully describedand claimed.

In the accoi'npanying drawings there have been illustrated card holdersconstructed in accordance with the present invention.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating one form ofthe device, the same being shown in position upon the box or containerand a display card being shown in position upon the holder. Fig. 2 is avertical longitudinal sectional view of the device.

Referring to the drawing in detail the numeral 1 designates the holder.This holder is constructed of a single strand of bendable wire andcomprises a foot 2 from which are extended spaced rightangular parallelarms 3. These arms are centrally formed with oppositely arrangedoutwardly curved bulging portions I, the said bulging portions adaptedto serve as a. means whereby the holder may be supported upon a stud,button or the like. The arms 3 are provided with oppositely extendingmembers 5, the same being arranged at a rightangular plane Specificationof Letters Patent.

with relation to the side arms oi the foot 2. The members 5 are coiledupon themselves to provide the loops 6 and the end convolutions of theseloops are bent down wardly to provide the sustaining members T hosemembers or arms 8 are arranged in a plane substantially parallel withthe members or arms 3, but are positioned a suitable distance away fromthe said arms, and the said members 8 extend below the foot 2, the saidextending portions being sharpened to provide means whereby the devicemay be readily sustained upon a box, package or the like. The foot 2-,it will be noted serves not only as a support but also as a means forlimiting the insertion of the arms 8 within the box or the like. Theloops 6 provide means whereby a display card 7 may be sustained upon theholder.

Having thus described the invention what I claim is A card holderconstructed from a s ngle strand of wire and including a pair of spacedparallel arms having their ends sharpened, the said arms being bent uponthemselves to provide each a plurality of card engaging loops, the lowerand end convolution of each of the loops being ex tended at a rightangle to the arms and toward each other, and then bent at an angle andin a plane parallel with each other and with the first named arms, thesaid parallel members being further bent to provide a right angularU-shaped foot, and the said foot being arranged at a distance away fromthe sharpened ends of the first named arms.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
